I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives their creativity.

Science gives us a powerful vocabulary and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.

Sound is the vocabulary of nature.

It's like learning a language you can't speak a language fluently until you find out who you are in that language and that has as much to do with your body as it does with vocabulary and grammar.

We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.'

The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you so when you start trying to count them on one hand you don't need any fingers.

If you're not ready to die for it put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure it's because you've started to think of failure.

Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
